Great tutorial. A kid I work with is making a zombie movie and wanted to know if I could blow somebody's head off. I combined this tut with your lightning strike explosion and the result was messy and awesome.

Andrew,

My man, you are fantastic! I've watched a handful of your tutorials as I wait for AE CS4 to arrive in the mail. You are extremely talented and I am anxious to get the product and get to work. I've already purchased the Action Essentials 2 I believe is.

Excellent and keep it up!

Eric

by Hunter :P 05/19/2009
great tutorial! but where can I get blood animations?
by AfterEffectsUsEr 05/12/2009
The bad thing is - you don't have the blood splatters.

And the good splatters cost money.
by eodzi 05/11/2009
oh guy, it so great!
tks very much!
by Jordan 05/10/2009

by Peter montgomery 02/16/2009
Is there a way to do motion blur on stop-motion but only on the parts that are moving, almost like frame interpolation but with blur and in the correct directions of movement?
by Mike 02/12/2009
I am just wondering if any of the passing cars saw you shooting this and thinking the guy was really shooting himself.

Andrew you are a AE GOD

I did everything in your tutorial step by step but the head disapearing is not working for me. All I get is an outline that is transparent around the head instead of the entire head being transparent with the background. Please Help!

by Disappointed 11/28/2008
Hi,

I'm very disappointed in the subject matter for this tutorial. My 11 year old son was enjoying using some of your tutorials, but when my wife found the tutorial contained an effect of a man blowing his brains out, we were horrified. I'm sure there must be a less nihlistic, depressing and upsetting way of simulating a flesh wound in a lesson. From a marketing perspective, I think your shooting yourself in the foot (if not in the head) by creating tutorials that are inappropriate for younger ages, who would be keen to buy your products. Maybe when you have children of your own you'll understand.
by badman-hm 11/26/2008
heee
whats up man

this tutorial is the one i enjoy with it

thinx for the good explaining

by Mikkel Riise Lund 11/20/2008
First of all I wanna thank you for this amazing site and the great products you have given us.

Secondly I liked the tutorial, but must say that the car in the background doesn't look good. I've tried to fix it here: http://flickr.com/photos/lundmikkel/3043729837. Think I succeed. Tell me what you think...

- Mikkel

PS: You could fix the foot - I donøt think it would stop like that in the end, if he had been dead for real... Just an idea for improvement...
by Mikkel Riise Lund 11/19/2008
First of all I wanna thank you for this amazing site and the great products you have given us.

Secondly I liked the tutorial, but must say that the car in the background doesn’t work well. It’s disappearing and flashing. I’ve tried to fix it in my own attempt and think I succeeded: http://flickr.com/photos/lundmikkel/3043729837. Let me know what you think.

Oh, and the foot looks kinda weird at the end. Don’t think it would behave like that if he was dead :D
by Alfredo Anglero 11/19/2008
Do you need any other program of just these that are shown here to create such cool effects?

Anyone can help out with this question


Thanks,
AA
by hello 11/11/2008
hello, great tutorial! I did a vid myself that I posted on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k71qjIym6I
but thing is... that the backgound picture I use, the still frame at the end, is not perfectly alined with the rest of the video for some reason, so you can tell it's forgery, because they r not perfetly alined, so when u remove the head the background doesn't perfecly match and is a little off
don't know if other people have the same issue as me
and I'd like to make a tutorial request, can u please make one where you incorporate ufos in a video? like fake an alien flyby? that would be off the hook!
again, great tutorials man

What key do you press to enlarge the preview screen at 01:13?
by phil 08/17/2008
Incredible tutorials,
in this one it works better if you rotate the blood splatter 180 degrees, more resalistic - well, i imagine.
by Scott 08/16/2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H4uuC4ipFQ

i made this by using the tutorial and the action movie essentials(which is great).
And updated the look of this vid a little bit by changing the mask and the blood spattering use.
instead of blowing his head of, he is just shooting a small part off.

thanks video copilot

by acerious 03/24/2008
Sweet, Very Sweet.Although it may have been better if the bullet went through his skull and popped out the other end. Not the head really exploding.
by Lord of salem 03/23/2008
nice but 1 bug on cars after shot :)

by Says 03/22/2008
You can add sound in After Effects, but you cant hear it until you export it. And now I have a question, it may have been asked before, but I was looking for maybe a solution, is there any other way to get the cool blood effects without buying Action Essentials? thanks great tutorials.
by kyno 03/12/2008

by Huerto 02/27/2008
I'd give u an advice: strech the blood to slow down the time a lil bit and add the sharpen effect, it'd be more realistic so
by Huerto 02/27/2008
Hi,I'm a beginner in AE but thnx to Andrew & creativecow I'm learin so fast n well.
Very cool tut!, I used sharpen effect fit to high percentage on blood so it looks like more realistic
